New Honorary Friends

At our 2021 AGM we were delighted to award honorary membership to four Friends for their ‘distinguished services.’ Anne Martin and Bob Merryweather were recognised for their work as volunteers in the Gardens, and Rene May and Jill Sinclair for their contributions to the executive committee.

We also announced the recent award of the Marnock Medal to our much-missed chair Jill Thompson, who received the honour with her customary humility and delight shortly before she died last month. The Marnock award is given to those few Friends who provide outstanding service to both the Botanical Gardens and to the Friends.
